<p>Had 740CR/680M/680W (2100) w/o prep. Really need to boost writing and math!Any tips?
I’m also taking it in october but if I don’t reach my goal of 2300 should I take it again in December or will it be too late to meet the 1/1 deadline?
Is anyone else taking SATIIs in Nov?</p>
<p>How did you do it ? thanks</p>
<p>I got 730/650/760 w/o prep (2140, Nov. test. Yes, THE HARD ONE). I really need a 2300. I’m focusing on Math, as I don’t think prepping will do me much for CR or W. CR is random and I do better or worse depending on the questions/passages (I think I’m capable of 780+ though), and writing; I am 99% sure I’ll get an 800 next time if I pay attention more. </p>
<p>Math is my downfall though. Shooting for ~720, 700+ at least. I will be practicing every day! BB ftw!</p>
<p>I’ve rised from 1750 to about 2100. Now it seems impossible to jump above 2200…I’ve done bb, and I’m taking January SAT. Any last-minute tips guys?</p>
<p>Started in Nov prepping for Jan test. Raised from a 2050ish to 2300-2400. I just took an official test and got a 790M 800CR and 680W :(. Usually get an 800 on writing but I just spazzed this test and found the problems really difficult unlike usual…that will be a 750+ by the time I’m done. As for math, the one I got wrong was poorly worded, like I would NEVER see that on a real SAT sitting poorly worded.</p>
<p>I went from 2040 to 2240. Basically I just drilled through practice questions and tests. Vocab is really important on CR, so I suggest reading a lot of books and listening to vocabulary podcasts and stuff (those are great, one of the words I learned on one of them got me a vocab question on the last SAT I took). As for math, you really just have to be good at math. one tip: learn what an integer is. Haha, I only remotely knew what one was on the first SAT I took and it probably killed be on a couple questions. Writing is irrelevant, colleges rarely take it into account, so I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>
<p>I went from 2010 to 2310, it’s definitely doable. I took the first test cold. Second time, I took a couple days off school, sat home and did practise tests for like 48 hours straight. I also prepped a couple of examples for the essay and read over the vocab I didn’t know. But I’m a crazy procrastinator so I don’t recommend my method LOL.</p>
<p>Took the Nov test btw.</p>
<p>I only took the test once but my practice test scores jumped a lot…
I started at 2100 or so for my first practice tests and on my very last practice exam i scored 2340. Then I got a 2370 on the December test. I did more than 20 practice exams, took a course (although everything they said was in the Barron’s book). I did some vocab studying but I also read a fair amount so that probably helped too. </p>
<p>Personally, what I think is most effective is to read the Barron’s book and do a lot of practice exams (although barron’s exams are much harder than the actual SAT). I also did the entire Barron’s 2400 book which was helpful as well. Good luck!</p>
<p>I’m facing the same problem 
my first SAT was taken last Jan - got a 2110. Hoping for a 2300 when I take the exam in 27 days!</p>
<p>Am just currently doing all the BB practice tests and reading explanations to every single question in detail. Also memorising Direct Hits and Princeton Review Hit Parade vocabulary. </p>
<p>Good luck to everyone else in the same situation! :)</p>
<p>It’s possible.
I took 3 SAT’s at a 1940-1980 range, and then in Dec, brought it up to a 2320.</p>
